Sometimes, we have not because we ask not.
Below is a letter to our friends and family. It is a plea for help — of any kind — prayers, financial support, encouragement. There is a part of me that always feels bad asking for help. I am reminded that when we help others, we are helped ourselves. We'd like to extend to you this chance to be blessed.
From the inside-out, from the top to the bottom, Axios Youth Community is a great cause!
We are worth supporting and the work we are doing is crucial.
Will you take some meaningful action today to support our cause? The action might be:
- Reading the letter carefully
- Forwarding it to someone who can help
- Saying a prayer for us
- Posting a word of encouragement on our Facebook page
- Sending support
- Spreading the word
- Coming and visiting our kids
- 'Adopting' one of our amazing staff members
- Becoming a corporate sponsor
- Something else you feel led to do
Thank you for even considering helping an organization that is changing the world, one child at a time.

Dear Friends and Family:
Axios Youth Community has been serving kids and families who are hurting since 1994. Over those years, we have survived numerous trials, we have grown and thrived and served thousands of people in need. It has all been nothing short of miraculous.
We have been so grateful for the many ways people and organizations have supported us through all our ups and downs. Lives have been saved and changed because of your help, prayers, volunteer service and generosity.
As of August, 2010, we at Axios Youth Community are facing one of the most significant trials in our history. Through a perfect storm of timing, state cuts and other circumstances, we are struggling desperately to survive a financial crisis. It will not take a lot to get us through this incredibly difficult stretch, but we cannot make it on our own.
As much as we believe in our hearts that Love never fails, and that our Mission to change the world cannot fail, we also know that we will not make it through this period without help. If you believe in our cause and you have the ability to help us in some way, we ask that you please take action and do whatever you can right now.
As always, contributions to Axios Youth Community are tax deductible. We will make sure that you get full credit whether you send a check, go to the website www.axiosyouth.com and use a credit card through Paypal or donate an item of value.
We absolutely cherish your help and we know that we will endure this time and emerge even stronger and with the ability to do even more good in this world. Thank you!
Please feel free to contact us with any questions.
Sincerely,
Jedd Hafer, Director of Development
Axios Youth Community
